Chapter 3 Life is so difficult
"What a good boy." Wei Changdong smiled and turned to chat with Yang Jianjun. Yang Jianjun was a retired soldier and had participated in the self-defense counterattack. The two also had something in common.
Li Guizhen and Yang Meizhen were talking with Song Yufang. Grandpa and grandma from the Yang family sat happily on the side, occasionally chiming in.
Yang Jiabo pulled over the small chair and sat on it obediently, squinting and looking at Wei Jing without any trace. No wonder he felt familiar, he turned out to be the brother of his future classmate. He remembered that Wei Feng never mentioned that he had an older brother in his previous life. Could it be that he was abducted by human trafficker and sold to a remote area to be someone else's son, or that his hands and feet were chopped off and he was forced to beg in the street?
You can't blame Yang Jiabo for thinking like this, the son of one of his mother's friends, Mayu, was kidnapped. It took many years to find him, however when he was found, his legs were broken and he was begging on the street.
By the way, did that family take the child back? It seems that I have only heard his legs are disabled, but I have never seen him.
When Yang Jiabo looked at Wei Jing, Wei Jing was also looking at him. Wei Jing had been smart since he was a child, but he was still a child after all, and he accidentally fell into trouble this time. When he woke up in the police station, he thought Yang Jiabo was a kidnapped child like him. Who knew that he turned out to be his savior.
He saw that the little guy kept peeking at him sheepishly, so he smiled at him. Sure enough, the shy child lowered his head again and played with his fingers. Wei Jing couldn't imagine how such a shy child could save himself? But he looked pretty good after being washed.
Such a beautiful misunderstanding would last for a long time. However, a child's first impression was the most deeply ingrained, and it was impossible to change it.
What Wei Jing didn't know was that, the Yang Jiabo he thought was a well-behaved, shy, and kind-hearted child. At this time, he was counting his fingers and calculating how to use this repaying the favor.
The Yang family seemed to be quite prosperous now. The township enterprise where Yang's father worked was quite profitable. Li Guizhen worked in a plastics factory and her income was also considerable. The family still had crops from the fields, and could earn a lot from raising pigs and selling them every year.
However, the lifespan of these enterprises was not long. In a few years, these factories and enterprises would close down one after another, and the life of the family would become increasingly difficult. When he entered junior high school, things got even worse.
Now the family's land was mainly farmed by his grandparents, but they were getting older. In the next two years, his grandparents would be in poor health, and all the work in the fields would fall on his father alone. His father worked very hard. He had to go to work during the day and worked in the fields after getting off work.
When he was in junior high school, there was no nine-year compulsory education policy yet, so it was very difficult for his family to support him going to school. He still remembered that his mother was unemployed at that time and opened a small shop at home. She didn't know how to run it well and was addicted to playing mahjong all day long. She was neither lucky nor skilled, so she lost more than she won.
At that time, the school had a lot of tuition and miscellaneous fees, and he had to pay for books, materials, and test papers every now and then. Every time he asked his mother for money, he would be scolded severely.
When he was in elementary school, he had a cheerful personality, and loved to make friends. He was very popular and was good at studies. But when he was in junior high school, his family was in trouble. His father was busy making money and had no time to take care of him, while his mother only knew how to play mahjong.
When he invited friends to play at home, his mother would scold him that the family had no money and tell him not to bring people home. No matter it was an activity organized by school, class, or classmates, he never participated once because he had no money.
As a result, his relationship with his classmates became more and more alienated, his personality became more and more withdrawn and introverted, and his academic performance naturally plummeted. Originally, the age of entering junior high school was a sensitive period, however his entire junior high school life was dull gray. His life later was also dyed with dull gray color.
After thinking about it, Yang Jiabo felt that he urgently needed money. Although he was reborn, he was too young. He had no space and no special powers. He could neither speculate in stocks nor remember the winning lottery numbers. Moreover, his body was still a child, and it was impossible to make money like in The Arabian Nights.
But now there was a very fat sheep in front of him, perhaps he could make good use of it.
